IC: Dream Post

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

Re: The Shining Path

There's pain only for a moment, and then nothingness and darkness...

But you -- your mind, your consciousness -- you're still here.

Re: The Shining Path

You're alone, floating in the dark, bodiless... but somewhere near you, somehow, there's a shining silver thread.

Mau...I don't know if you can even hear me, but...I'm sorry. I did everything I could.

[focusing on that then, seeing if it's possible to follow it]

Re: The Shining Path

There's no answer, no sense of any other presence. Once you focus on it, it seems to pull you along. Slowly, the darkness around you lifts, fading little by little to a murky grey.

Re: The Shining Path

As the light increases, so does your sense of self. You can perceive your own limbs again. You slow to a stop, the silver thread fading, and then gradually you become aware that you're not hanging in space, you're lying face down, eyes closed...

Re: The Shining Path

It is! You're lying on sand, battered and so sore that any movement is an enormous effort, but definitely alive, on this beach.
